Mason Hamlin Pianos.
Mason & Hamlin bid fair to become as
famous for their pianos as they have long
been for their orld-rcnowned organs.
The distinguishing feature about the
Mason d Hamlin Piano Is an important
Improvement in the method of holding
the strings. They are secured by metal.
lie fastenings, instead of by the friction
pins set in wood, as has been the case,
and the advantages resulting are highly
important. Wonderful beauty and mu-
sical quality of tone; far less liability Of
getting out of tune; greater reliability In
trying climates; and greater solidity Of
construction and durability are secured.

seven candidates for the Democratic NOM
ination for Sheriff next Fall and several
townships, boroughs and wards to be
heard from. Freebooter Godfrey G.
Lott, of Bethlehem, informs us that he is
candidate subject to the wishes of the
Democratic masses. Godfrey places his
record AS Freebooter before the people
and believes that the stand he took as
such on the Tramp question and other
matters by which the hard earnings of the
taxpayers were saved, will aid him be-
fore the common people, although it will
cause the bosses to oppose him. If God

shut himself out of many fat fees which
other Sheriffs have had. Democrat I'D
